Haha! Yummm!! altough... Ometeotzin and Teoteotzin are the most used forms, which are the diminutives. In Nahuatl you use the diminutive both for things that you really love, and for things that you respect.

Haha it’s so funny how all of those threads remain unanswered ? The real users of this forum are on a whole n’other level!

Ometeotl / Ometeotzin / Teoteotzin In the Mexican prehispanic tradition (nahua) the belief was there was this one single self-generated thing that included it all. Since it divided itself into a duality, it is called “Ometeotl” for ome = two, and teotl = God. The “parts that resulted from that division are Ometekuhtli and Omeziwatl (literally “two-man” and “two-woman”, but meaning rather dual man and dual woman). They are the ones who were generated but are able to generate, and they had four children representing the four cardinal points.

@egoless The fact that it says “isn’t it? Yes or no?” Proves it’s totally legit ???

Hey! I just remembered you promised a long long time ago a video on quality sexting!! Is that ever gonna happen? haha it'd be weird seeing it on your channel given the type of content you're delivering lately, but I'd watch it!!

Hi! I just saw Leo's Ultimate Journal a.k.a. Commonplace Book video and absolutely loved it, because I do exactly the same, just on paper (have topic notebooks for everything) and it's much slower and not as useful. I want to keep a Onenote commonplace book as Leo suggests but I'm having some questions. I have a Mac, and I've read there is no possibility to save anything locally in the Mac versions. I don't like that, but also I'm not ready to invest money in it yet, so I was wandering if I start using the newest Mac version and save everything on the cloud, and in the future I manage to buy an older (Mac or Windows) version of Onenote to be able to save everything locally, will I be able to migrate my content from the new version to the old one? Hoping someone has some experience with it here and can offer some help! Thanks! TL;DR: If I start using the newest Mac version of Onenote & save everything on the cloud, will I be able to migrate my content to an older version (to be able to save things locally) in the future?

NOOOOO LEOOOOO!!!!! Why did you do this!? I haven't been on the forum for a while, and I just discovered this, but IMO reputation, or likes or however you wanna call it, was a really useful tool, it helped me more than once to spot really high quality comments (or as you would call them: golden nuggets) that I wouldn't have otherwise read. Do you think people really identified with their ranks?? Cause I couldn't care less, I don't even remember what mine was... but please, consider taking reputation back, maybe not as "reputation" which feeds a certain user rank. Ranks are indeed kind of useless, but please give us an option to say, "Hey, this is a really valuable contribution". Thanks! @Leo Gura I really hope you read this... Edit: maybe even without the option of seeing who liked it.

Nah, I didn't find a sexy title as Leo suggested, but here it is... I am starting a meditation journal, because I don't feel any kind of development (neither forwards nor backwards) in my meditation practice, other than my legs don't get numb as much any more... also, I backslide sometimes, and tell myself that "it is fine if I have a meditation rest-day", so this journal shall register it all, and help me identify some development, if any. If you wish so, you are very welcome to join me on this journey and share here your daily meditation experience!

I looove that guy, yes the Japan video is a jewel!

YogaYogaYoga! I'm pretty sure you could benefit from it!

Day 65 Days in a row: 2 Start time: 8:00 a.m. Finish time: 8:30 a.m. Location: Rooftop at my parent's house Technique: Focus on breath Eyes: open Highlights: Learning from the lessons of yesterday, I wore warmer clothes and went to the rooftop to meditate. I picked an antena in the horizon as my focus point, and everything started well. I started counting my breaths, I didn't plan beforehand on doing that, but in that moment, I decided to continue with the count. I reached 156 breaths without major distraction and then some thoughts crossed my mind, and I got lost in them. A few moments later I noticed I wasn't counting anymore and I decided to start all over. On the second count I reached 103 breaths, and although some thoughts crossed my mind, I was able to keep counting. My right leg got so numb I couldn't feel it anymore, but I resisted the urge to move until the end. Also, during the meditation, the mental image of my hands became very confusing, as if I couldn't remember the position of each finger, and therefore couldn't understand the position in which I had them while meditating. That had already happened to me before, and it's super interesting!

Well, probably he isn't focused in online presence very much. I have no idea where you can find more videos, but I guess he has a website and a huge book full of insight, maybe check those out.

@egoless very much so!

@Leo Gura I remember when you used to ask yourself the same thing! Now it seems like you're becoming more like Peter!

Day 64 Days in a row: 1 Start time: 7:30 a.m. Finish time: 8:00 a.m. Location: Rooftop at my parent's house Technique: Do nothing Eyes: open Highlights: I went early in the morning to the rooftop to meditate until the sun came out. I decided to fix my view on a star near the horizon and follow it until it disappeared. A couple things went wrong: first, I did follow the star, but the sky was becoming brighter and brighter as the sun was going up, and I was somewhat dazzled and had to look in different directions from time to time. Also, although I was wearing a jacket, I got cold from the morning fresh air, and the lack of movement during the meditation, because of that, I also started moving until I was hugging myself to keep me warm. When my meditation position was gone, and I was gazing all over the place, I decided to officially stop meditating and just watch the sunrise. I had been sitting there about five minutes longer than I had planned for the meditation and I started becoming impatient. I stood up, and right when I was leaving, the sun rays showered me as if they were saying "in case you doubted we were coming out". It didn't feel much as a meditation, I was very distracted with many things. If I meditate there again, I'll consider wearing warmer clothes and picking a focus point which isn't on the sky.

@Waves My mother tongue is Spanish, at school I learned German and English, and independently I started studying French and Nahuatl. For me the most valuable lesson I've had from speaking different languages, is that there are many world views and each one is as valid as the other one. Languages are like filters of reality, and your perception changes with each one of them. Speaking one single language you don't get the opportunity to notice this and open your mind to be more accepting of new ideas. @SuperLuigi Translating Actualized.org videos is already a thing!

I was happy to find something like this on mainstream media. I think it does make a point, and although it mainly focuses on Trump, it also applies as an approach to politics and news in general. Now go ahead and seize the opportunity to practice "mindful resistance"! https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2017/10/2/16394320/mindful-resistance-key-defeating-trump-mindfulness

Day 64 Days in a row: 3 Start time: 9:20 a.m. Finish time: 9:40 a.m. Location: Balcony at my parent's house Technique: Do nothing Eyes: open Highlights: Many career-related thoughts. I had some cool ideas, but a lack of awareness during this session. I tried to fix my eyes to a spot and not move them at all, and the images started distorting towards the end. It really looked like some things were moving, that actually don't move, and it was interesting noticing that we can't fully trust our senses, for what they tell us is also only one perspective.

Hey @phoenix666! nice to hear it was helpful for you! it is kind of cool to integrate self-inquiry in a meditation practice, right? Thanks for stopping by to share your experience!

IMO "is it ok?" is the wrong question. OK according to who? To the church? To your parents? To society? To you? To her? Reformulate your question. I guess you rather wanted to know if it's going to work, i.e. if your friendship is going to last even if you're intimate. I think generally at least one side starts developing feelings for the other, and if it is only from that one side, then usually it doesn't become anything serious, and the friendship breaks apart too. That being said, I know first hand it can work. If both of you are very mature and not needy at all, and it is kind of a sporadic thing (meaning that it doesn't become a routine), then yes, it can work and it can bring the friendship to a whole 'nother level because intimacy is the deepest level of trust you can share with someone else. Consider these as a couple litmus tests: 1. To check if it's really remaining as a friendship: the intimacy episode(s) you've shared won't become the center of your relationship. 2. To check if you're both mature about it: you probably won't be cheating on anyone, nor will any of you be even dating another person, probably you won't have the feeling that what you've had is top secret and something you have to hide. Also, you will be highly communicative and open to each other, and you won't feel shy to express whatever it is you have to say. 3. Finally, the most important one of all, to check if it "is ok" as you put it: it will feel absolutely right to you and to your friend, so both of you will have a sharp ear to listen what your intuition is telling you, and even sense if the other one is feeling the same way as you are. It is enough that one of you feels like there's something wrong, for the whole thing to actually be wrong. This last point alone is the absolute key. Don't ask other people if it is ok, ask yourself and let your intuition give you answers, and be careful not to confuse answers from your intuition with answers from your mind. They're not the same. Your mind can be telling you that "it feels right" but your intuition will let you know if that's a true or a false statement.

Day 63 Days in a row: 2 Start time: 8:00 a.m. Finish time: 8:25 a.m. Location: Balcony at my parent's house Technique: Do nothing Eyes: open at the beginning, closed towards the end Highlights: I intended to do a mindfulness meditation, but my thoughts were too active for that, and I just decided to let go and switch to a "do nothing" mode. I felt like a rollercoaster, literally, there was so much activity, so many things were moving in and around me, and it was a mixture of fear/worry and fun. Above all, I had memories about the past, relationships and friends.

Day 62 Days in a row: 1 Start time: 9:00 a.m. Finish time: 9:15 a.m. Location: Room at my parent's house Technique: Shinzen Young's mindfulness meditation Eyes: closed Highlights: short meditation using the "awareness-as-an-arrow" technique. It is not easy to point with awareness-arrow the stimuli reaching me. Sometimes the arrows become several arrows for different things, sometimes they are bigger, smaller and even change colors and (imaginary)consistency, but it is hard to locate them somewhere. I lost concentration for a short moment, going inside my head and getting lost in thoughts, but re-gained focus, and kept pointing sensations through the end.
